Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corrosion testing equipment technology, specifically a chain corrosion testing device with complex environment simulation function. Background Technology

[0002] Chain links are widely used in ship anchoring, port lifting, mining transportation, and construction machinery. Their service environment often involves combined stresses such as high humidity, salt spray, silt erosion, and mechanical loads. With the development of marine engineering and heavy-duty transportation, the service conditions of chain links have become more stringent, and corrosion failure has become an increasingly prominent problem.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as CN117147423A, still rely heavily on single salt spray tests or static immersion tests for traditional chain link corrosion tests. This makes it difficult to accurately reproduce the environment of multiple factors coupled together during service, such as temperature, humidity, salt spray, sand and water erosion, and tensile load. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a chain link corrosion test device that can simultaneously apply multiple corrosion and mechanical stress conditions in order to more accurately evaluate the corrosion resistance and service life of the chain links.

[0004] Existing technologies generally lack the capability to test various stress conditions such as salt spray corrosion, high-pressure impact flow, water-sand coupled erosion, and mechanical tension. They typically require batch testing in different equipment, resulting in long testing cycles and poor data correlation. Clamping mechanisms are mostly fixed or unidirectionally adjustable, making it difficult to quickly adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, and lacking dynamic loading capabilities such as tension and drop. In sand or water erosion simulations, the media delivery method is singular, making it difficult to stably control particle flow rate and impact rhythm, and lacking efficient media separation and recovery systems. Temperature control systems are mostly unidirectional, with small heat exchange areas, slow temperature change response, high energy consumption, and low media recycling rates. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a chain-link corrosion testing device with complex environment simulation capabilities to address the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chain corrosion testing device with complex environment simulation function to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The test apparatus includes an environmental simulation mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a detection mechanism, and a temperature control mechanism. The clamping mechanism and the environmental simulation mechanism are fastened together, the detection mechanism and the environmental simulation mechanism are fastened together, and the temperature control mechanism and the environmental simulation mechanism are fastened together.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the environmental simulation mechanism provides a unified support platform and a closed spatial environment for all mechanisms. The clamping mechanism uses multi-dimensional fixtures to adapt and clamp the workpiece, and the stretching and rolling actions simulate the applicable environment. The detection mechanism provides feedback and monitors the status, and the temperature control mechanism regulates the ambient temperature through the circulation of hot and cold media. This achieves the combined effect of multiple factors such as temperature, humidity, corrosiveness, and stress in the test environment.

[0009] Furthermore, the environmental simulation mechanism includes a test chamber, a supply component, and an environmental simulation component. The clamping mechanism, the detection mechanism, and the temperature control mechanism are all securely connected to the test chamber. The supply component is securely connected to the test chamber, and the environmental simulation component is securely connected to the test chamber. The environmental simulation component is located at the bottom of the test chamber.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the test chamber, as a sealed core space, is used to hold the test medium and the workpiece under test. The supply component quantitatively delivers liquid, aerosol, or particulate media into the test chamber from the top, while the environmental simulation component generates or processes the simulated medium at the bottom of the test chamber, achieving continuous change and recycling of environmental conditions. The test chamber provides sealing and structural support to ensure a controllable internal environment; the supply component precisely introduces the required medium into the test area by controlling the spraying, dripping, or conveying methods; the environmental simulation component completes the generation, separation, or recycling of the medium at the bottom and interacts with the gas-liquid flow inside the test chamber to achieve comprehensive simulation of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, corrosivity, and erosion. The layered arrangement of the test chamber, supply component, and environmental simulation component allows for more diverse environmental conditions and a high recycling rate of the test medium.

[0011] Furthermore, the supply components include a dripping nozzle, a salt spray generator, a high-pressure pump, a nozzle, and a pulse valve. The dripping nozzle is hinged to the test chamber, the salt spray generator is connected to the dripping nozzle, the dripping nozzle and the salt spray generator are located above the test chamber, the high-pressure pump is connected to the pulse valve, the pulse valve is connected to the nozzle, and the high-pressure pump, nozzle, and pulse valve are located below the test chamber.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the supply component consists of a dripping nozzle, a salt spray generator, a high-pressure pump, a nozzle, and a pulse valve. The dripping nozzle is hinged and installed above the test chamber with an adjustable angle. The salt spray generator is connected to the dripping nozzle and can be used to atomize the salt solution and deliver it evenly to the test area through the nozzle. The dripping nozzle and the salt spray generator are arranged together above the test chamber to facilitate the simulation of natural environments such as rainfall and salt spray. The high-pressure pump is located below the test chamber and is connected to the pulse valve, which in turn is connected to the nozzle. Through the pressure provided by the high-pressure pump and the periodic control of the pulse valve, the intermittent jetting of high-energy fluid in the nozzle is achieved. At the start of the test, the salt spray generator is activated, atomizing the salt solution and sending it into the test chamber through the dripping nozzle to form a uniform salt spray environment. At the same time, the dripping nozzle can drip liquid medium according to the test requirements. The high-pressure pump is activated under the command of the control system, pushing the liquid to be released periodically through the pulse valve and sprayed onto the surrounding area through the nozzle to simulate wave impact, sand and water erosion, and other working conditions. The upper drip-propellant nozzle works in conjunction with the salt spray generator to achieve corrosive atomization and droplet simulation, while the lower high-pressure pump, pulse valve, and nozzle cooperate to form a controllable impact flow field. Multi-factor environmental simulation is achieved through the superposition of the upper and lower media. The effect of this scheme is that it can simultaneously or alternately achieve various environmental stress loadings such as salt spray corrosion, droplet erosion, and high-pressure scouring within the same test space, improving the comprehensiveness and realism of the test conditions. At the same time, the reasonable distribution of components and stable media supply ensure the reliability and repeatability of the test results.

[0013] Furthermore, the environmental simulation component includes a simulation box, a simulation screw rod, a sand inlet pipe, a sand filter plate, a sand discharge motor, a sand discharge valve pipe, a first elastic element, a first electromagnetic block, and a first magnetic block. The simulation box and the test chamber are rigidly connected; the simulation screw rod and the sand filter plate are rotatably connected; the simulation screw rod and the test chamber are rotatably connected; the sand discharge motor and the test chamber are rigidly connected; the sand discharge motor and the first electromagnetic block are driven by transmission; the first electromagnetic block and the first magnetic block are driven by magnetic pole repulsion; the first magnetic block and the test chamber are slidably connected; the first elastic element and the first electromagnetic block are rigidly connected; the first elastic element and the first magnetic block are rigidly connected; and the first magnetic block... The block and the simulated spiral rod are fastened together. The simulated spiral rod and the first electromagnetic block are slidably connected. The first electromagnetic block is provided with a sliding groove. The simulated spiral rod is provided with a sliding protrusion. The sliding protrusion and the sliding groove are slidably connected. The sand discharge valve pipe is connected to the simulation box. The sand filter plate and the simulation box are fastened together. A seawater simulation chamber is provided above the simulation box and the sand filter plate. A liquid recovery chamber is provided below the simulation box and the sand filter plate. The sand filter plate is provided with an inclined surface and a sand discharge arc surface. The sand discharge arc surface is semi-circular. The inclined surface is used to allow the simulated medium to flow into the sand discharge arc surface. The sand discharge arc surface is used to simulate the spiral rod to transport sand on it.

[0014] By employing the aforementioned technology, the simulation chamber and the test chamber are tightly connected to form an independent simulated environment cavity; the simulated spiral rod is rotatably connected to the sand filter plate and the test chamber respectively, and is tightly fitted with the first magnetic block to realize sand conveying and agitation; the sand inlet pipe is used to introduce sand into the simulation chamber, the sand filter plate is tightly connected to the simulation chamber, dividing the cavity into an upper seawater simulation cavity and a lower liquid recovery cavity; the sand discharge motor is tightly fixed to the test chamber, and drives the first electromagnetic block to move through transmission. The magnetic poles of the first electromagnetic block and the first magnetic block repel each other and slide together. The first elastic element is simultaneously tightly connected to the first electromagnetic block and the first magnetic block to realize force buffering and reset; the simulated spiral rod is slidably connected to the first electromagnetic block, and its sliding protrusion cooperates with the sliding groove on the first electromagnetic block to realize reciprocating conveying; the sand discharge valve pipe is connected to the simulation chamber to facilitate the directional discharge of sand; the sand filter plate has an inclined surface and a semi-circular arc-shaped sand discharge arc surface. The inclined surface guides the sand or medium to the sand discharge arc surface, and the sand discharge arc surface serves as the conveying track of the simulated spiral rod to convey the sand to the designated position. The sand is fed into the simulation chamber through the sand inlet pipe. The sand mixes with the water flow in the simulated seawater chamber and is continuously conveyed by the simulated screw rod through the inclined surface of the filter plate and the discharge arc surface. The discharge motor drives the first electromagnetic block to reciprocate, and the magnetic force drives the first magnetic block and the simulated screw rod to rotate, achieving intermittent sand propulsion and discharge. The sand is then discharged into the collection system through the discharge valve pipe. The liquid is separated by the filter plate and enters the liquid recovery chamber, achieving media circulation. Utilizing the spiral conveying action of the simulated screw rod on the discharge arc surface, combined with magnetic transmission and an elastic resetting structure, continuous movement and directional discharge of sand under the action of water flow are achieved, while maintaining media separation and recovery. This scheme effectively simulates the coupled scouring environment of sea sand and water in a stable and controllable manner, ensuring uniform sand supply and efficient media circulation, significantly improving the realism of the environmental simulation and the repeatability of experimental data.

[0015] Furthermore, the environmental simulation mechanism also includes a side panel door for opening and closing, a lead screw and slide rail, an opening and closing motor, an opening and closing lead screw, and an opening and closing slide rod. The opening and closing motor is fastened to the side panel door, the opening and closing motor is driven to the lead screw, the lead screw and the lead screw and slide rail are threaded together, the opening and closing slide rod and the side panel door are fastened together, the opening and closing slide rod and the lead screw and slide rail are slidably connected, and the lead screw and slide rail are fastened to the test chamber. The clamping mechanism includes a winding assembly and a tensioning assembly. The winding assembly is fastened to the side panel door for opening and closing, and the tensioning assembly is fastened to the test chamber.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening and closing motor is securely connected to the opening and closing side panel door and drives the opening and closing screw to rotate through transmission. The opening and closing screw is threadedly connected to the screw slide rail, realizing linear movement along the slide rail direction. The opening and closing slide rod is securely connected to the opening and closing side panel door and slides in cooperation with the screw slide rail, thereby realizing the smooth opening and closing of the side panel door under the drive of the opening and closing motor. The screw slide rail is securely connected to the test chamber to ensure stable operation of the mechanism. The clamping mechanism consists of a winding assembly and a tensioning assembly. The winding assembly is securely connected to the opening and closing side panel door, realizing movement and position adjustment with the opening and closing of the door. The tensioning assembly is securely connected to the test chamber, providing fixation and tension for the test workpiece. Before the test, the opening and closing motor starts and drives the opening and closing screw to rotate, which drives the opening and closing slide rod and the side panel door to slide smoothly along the screw slide rail through threaded transmission, realizing the opening or closing of the test chamber side panel door. The winding assembly moves with the side panel door to a suitable position for workpiece installation, and the tensioning assembly remains at the fixed end of the test chamber, clamping the workpiece through cooperation. The side panel door is precisely displaced by a screw-rail pair driven by an opening and closing motor. An opening and closing slide bar provides stable guidance, and the winding assembly adjusts its position by moving the door. The tensioning assembly is fixed to the test chamber to form a clamping reference surface. Together, they clamp and adjust the workpiece. This design achieves automatic opening and closing of the test chamber side panel door and flexible arrangement of the clamping mechanism, making workpiece installation and removal more convenient, improving test preparation efficiency, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of clamping and positioning.

[0017] Furthermore, the winding assembly includes a lifting electric slide rail, a telescopic electric cylinder, an electric arc slide rail, a rotary motor, an arc block, a first electric gripper, a single-sided electric gripper, a release rotary motor, and a rotary plate. The lifting electric slide rail is fastened to the opening and closing side panel door, the lifting electric slide rail is driven by the telescopic electric cylinder, the telescopic electric cylinder is driven by the electric arc slide rail, the telescopic electric cylinder is driven by the rotary motor, the electric arc slide rail is driven by the arc block, the release rotary motor is fastened to the arc block, the release rotary motor is driven by the rotary plate, the single-sided electric gripper is fastened to the rotary plate, and the single-sided electric gripper abuts against the tensioning assembly.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting electric slide rail is firmly connected to the opening and closing side panel door, responsible for driving the telescopic electric cylinder to rise and fall vertically; the telescopic electric cylinder, the electric arc slide rail, and the rotary motor are all connected by transmission, adjusting the position of the arc slide rail and driving the rotary motor to move horizontally by extending and retracting the stroke; the electric arc slide rail is connected by transmission to the arc block to realize the arc trajectory adjustment of the clamping position; the release rotary motor is firmly connected to the arc block and connected by transmission to the rotating plate, thereby driving the rotating plate to rotate in the plane; a single-sided electric gripper is fixed on the rotating plate and abuts against the tensioning assembly to clamp the workpiece; the first electric gripper is installed on the arc block for clamping and cooperation on the other side. In the test preparation stage, the lifting electric slide rail drives the telescopic electric cylinder to move up and down, adjusting the gripper assembly to a suitable height; the telescopic electric cylinder pushes the electric arc slide rail to move along the arc path, and the rotary motor drives the gripper assembly to adjust the angle; the release rotary motor starts, and the rotating plate drives the single-sided electric gripper to rotate to the designated clamping position, working together with the gripper on the tensioning assembly to complete the workpiece positioning and fixing. Vertical position adjustment is achieved via a lifting electric slide rail, while a telescopic electric cylinder provides forward and backward displacement and rotational driving force. The electric arc-shaped slide rail, in conjunction with an arc-shaped block, enables the gripper to move along an arc-shaped path. A release rotary motor and a rotating plate provide planar rotation adjustment. Ultimately, the first electric gripper and a single-sided electric gripper form a clamping mechanism on one side while the other side is suspended. The flexible clamping angle allows for adaptation to workpieces of different sizes and shapes, enabling rapid and stable clamping, improving test preparation efficiency and clamping reliability.

[0019] Furthermore, the stretching assembly includes a single-sided electric gripper, a stretching cylinder, a self-locking motor, a self-locking plate, a self-locking elastic element, a self-locking block, and an abutment block. The single-sided electric gripper and the single-sided electric gripper clamp and abut each other. The stretching cylinder and the test chamber are fastened together. The stretching cylinder and the self-locking motor are driven together. The self-locking motor and the self-locking plate are driven together. The single-sided electric gripper and the self-locking plate are fastened together. The self-locking elastic element and the single-sided electric gripper are fastened together. The self-locking block and the single-sided electric gripper are slidably connected. The self-locking elastic element and the self-locking block are fastened together. The abutment block and the self-locking motor are fastened together. The abutment block and the self-locking block abut and drive each other. The abutment block is arc-shaped and is used to prevent the workpiece from falling off when the single-sided electric gripper rotates.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the single-sided electric gripper and the single-sided electric gripper clamp the workpiece relative to each other, forming a stable positioning and conveying clamping; the electric cylinder is fixed to the test chamber, providing power for tensile loading through its telescopic movement, and is connected to the self-locking motor; the self-locking motor drives the self-locking plate to move, the self-locking plate is fixedly connected to the single-sided electric gripper, and the self-locking elastic element is fixedly connected to the single-sided electric gripper, providing a return and buffering effect; the self-locking block is slidably connected to the single-sided electric gripper and is fixedly engaged with the self-locking elastic element to ensure that it has the ability to follow the self-locking when the gripper position changes; the abutment block is fixedly connected to the self-locking motor and abuts and drives the self-locking block. The abutment block has an arc-shaped structure, which supports and protects the workpiece when the single-sided electric gripper rotates, preventing it from falling off. During the clamping phase, the single-sided electric gripper and the single-sided electric gripper close to clamp the workpiece. During the stretching phase, the stretching electric cylinder pushes the already self-locking single-sided electric gripper, causing the workpiece to be stretched and subjected to tensile forces on both sides. The self-locking mechanism maintains the stability of the gripper position during the force application process, and the self-locking elastic element assists in returning to its original position when released. When the gripper rotates or adjusts its angle, the abutment block contacts the self-locking block and prevents the workpiece from slipping. The stretching electric cylinder provides the driving force, and the self-locking motor and self-locking plate form a position lock. Combined with the elastic limiting structure of the self-locking elastic element and the self-locking block, the stability and adjustability of the gripper during the stretching process are achieved. The arc surface of the abutment block contacts the self-locking block to provide continuous support, preventing the workpiece from falling off due to gravity or tensile force. The effect of this solution is that it can achieve controllable stretching while ensuring stable workpiece clamping, and has dual protection of self-locking anti-slip and elastic buffer, significantly improving the safety, stability and adaptability of the stretching test.

[0021] Furthermore, the testing mechanism includes an industrial camera, an electric displacement stage, a positioning cylinder, and a conductivity probe. The industrial camera is securely connected to the test chamber, the electric displacement stage is securely connected to the test chamber, the electric displacement stage is driven by the positioning cylinder, and the positioning cylinder is driven by the conductivity probe.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the industrial camera is firmly connected to the test chamber for high-definition imaging and video recording of the workpiece surface condition during the test. The electric displacement stage is also firmly connected to the test chamber and forms a transmission connection with the positioning cylinder to achieve multi-axis precise adjustment of the detection position. The positioning cylinder is transmission-connected to the conductivity probe, driving the probe to contact the workpiece surface at a designated position for conductivity measurement. During the test, the industrial camera acquires images of workpiece surface changes in real time and transmits them to the data processing system. When conductivity testing is required, the electric displacement stage moves the positioning cylinder and conductivity probe to the target detection point according to a preset program. The positioning cylinder pushes the conductivity probe to contact the workpiece surface, completing the conductivity signal acquisition. The industrial camera utilizes optical imaging technology to achieve non-contact monitoring, the electric displacement stage is used to position the detection point, and the positioning cylinder uses pneumatic or electric thrust to drive the conductivity probe to form stable contact with the workpiece surface. The electrical signal acquired by the conductivity probe can reflect changes in the conductivity of the workpiece surface, thereby assessing corrosion, coating damage, and other conditions. This achieves an organic combination of image monitoring and electrical performance testing, enabling real-time observation of changes in the surface morphology of the workpiece and simultaneous acquisition of its electrical characteristic data, thereby improving detection accuracy and providing analytical basis for test results.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature control mechanism includes a heating chamber, a cooling chamber, a recovery pump, a circulation pump, and a temperature control tube. The cooling chamber and the circulation pump are connected, the circulation pump and the temperature control tube are connected, the temperature control tube is arranged in a serpentine pattern, the temperature control tube is connected to the heating chamber, the recovery pump is connected to the dripping nozzle, and the recovery pump is connected to the liquid recovery chamber. The heating chamber, cooling chamber, and circulation pump are all securely connected to the test chamber.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooling chamber is connected to the circulating pump to provide low-temperature medium circulation. The circulating pump is connected to the serpentine temperature control tubes, enabling the cooling or heating medium to form a large-area heat exchange path inside the test chamber. The other end of the temperature control tubes is connected to the heating chamber, which provides a stable heat source for the medium. The recovery pump is connected to the dripping nozzle to recycle the recovered liquid back to the nozzle. At the same time, the recovery pump is connected to the liquid recovery chamber to recover the medium liquid collected during the test back into the system. Before the test begins, the target temperature is set according to the requirements. The circulating pump starts and drives the medium in the cooling chamber or heating chamber into the temperature control tubes. The serpentine temperature control tubes fully exchange heat with the test environment inside the test chamber to achieve temperature rise and fall control. After the test medium is used, the liquid is collected through the liquid recovery chamber and transported by the recovery pump to the dripping nozzle to re-enter the test cycle. A heating chamber and a cooling chamber provide high-temperature and low-temperature media respectively. A circulating pump drives the media to circulate within a temperature-controlled tube. The serpentine arrangement increases the contact area with the test space, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. A recovery pump is responsible for returning the collected media in a closed loop, forming an energy-saving circulation system. During the experiment, the ambient temperature is regulated and controlled, while reducing media consumption, lowering operating costs, and ensuring the stability and repeatability of the test temperature conditions, thus improving the reliability and adaptability of environmental simulation experiments.

A dripping nozzle and salt spray generator are installed at the top, while a high-pressure pump, pulse valve, and nozzle are arranged at the bottom. The bottom is equipped with a combination structure of a simulation chamber, a filter plate, and a simulated spiral rod. The upper nozzle and salt spray generator are hinged and connected to simulate salt spray corrosion and droplet impact. The lower high-pressure pump controls the intermittent spraying of the nozzle through a pulse valve, forming an impact flow field. The filter plate in the bottom simulation chamber has inclined surfaces and semi-circular arc-shaped sand-discharging surfaces, which, together with the spiral conveying action of the simulated spiral rod and the sand inlet pipe, realize the cyclic simulation of a water-sand coupled scouring environment. The magnetic pole repulsion transmission between the first electromagnetic block and the first magnetic block, and the buffer reset of the first elastic element, ensure the rhythm and stability of sand conveying. The clamping mechanism mechanically combines the opening and closing of the side panel door with the guiding transmission relationship of the screw and slide rail. The opening and closing of the side panel door is achieved by the opening and closing motor driving the opening and closing screw. The screw and slide rail thread pair provide linear motion, and the opening and closing slide rail ensures the smooth guidance of the door. The winding assembly consists of a lifting electric slide rail, a telescopic electric cylinder, an electric arc slide rail, a rotating motor, an arc block, and a gripper. It achieves three-dimensional positioning of the gripper through vertical lifting, arc trajectory adjustment, and rotation of the rotating plate. The stretching assembly consists of a single-sided stretching electric gripper, a stretching electric cylinder, a self-locking mechanism, and an abutment block. The stretching electric cylinder provides the main tensile force, while the self-locking plate and self-locking elastic element lock and buffer the gripper position. The arc-shaped abutment block holds the workpiece in place during gripper rotation to prevent slippage, ensuring stability and safety during the loading process. The temperature control mechanism consists of a heating chamber, a cooling chamber, a circulating pump, a recovery pump, and a serpentine arrangement of temperature control tubes. The cooling chamber is connected to the circulating pump to provide low-temperature circulation, while the heating chamber is connected to the temperature control tubes to provide high-temperature circulation. The serpentine temperature control tubes have a large coverage area and high heat exchange efficiency within the test chamber. The recovery pump is bidirectionally connected to the liquid recovery chamber and the dripping nozzle, enabling closed-loop recovery and re-spraying of the test medium. Each component is fastened and connected to the pipeline to form a complete cooling and heating switching and media circulation path, which can accurately control the ambient temperature and ensure the efficient use of the test media.
